No it wasn't a typo DET. It is going to start cooling off later next week and just gets colder! I heard it on the tv too, but I'm still sitting here with everything crossed! Oh well, I guess I will be stripping wallpaper instead of being out in the garden. Luverly!!

Oh dear! Haven't seen the TV weather recently, but found this on the Met Office site.

Wall paper stripping does sound more attractive than outside activities oop norf!!!!

Oh shuddup you lot about your sunny days and blue skies. Good to hear you will also have the 4 degrees. Oh well it's only for about four months over here then it starts getting warmer again.

OH is OK but I think it gave him a bit of a scare. He did mention waiting till I was home before roof trekking again. Oh yeah, and I am going to catch him as he rolls off the roof.

According to him what understands this money conversion tee hee your pound is now worth about $1.76 of our dollar. Our dollar is about .84c at the moment. Now is the time for you lot to visit Australia because you get more Aust dollars for your pound.

Evening all, lovely warm evening. I drove home about half an hour ago with the car windows wound right down. Na na na nana Aunty LOL

Evening LG and Aunty!

You could always rig up a safety net Aunty!

LG, get the ark afloat. We're off to Oz to do retail therapy!!

Righty oh YG. She will be all shipshape and bristol fashion in a very short while LOL.W hat are we off to buy then ?

Ooooh, whatever takes our fancy!! A complete new wardrobe for me for starters!!

Oh you lot will love retail therapy in Oz. We have friends who used to come out here every few years. The lady loved the prices of our unmentionables and other clothing items. They always took home more than what they came with.

Our food costs are easier than those in UK as well. Don't know how your food import regulations are. Ours are really strict so it's a waste of time stocking up on exotic yummies while overseas because they confiscate them when you arrive home.

I'm off to cut my lunch and get ready for work. Catch you all later. Have a lovely warm day all of you. Lucky ducks.

That sounds good YG and 2 wallaby's for my 2 kids they for some reason adore them. I would have to travel elsewhere for my favoutite pet s LOL

Our regulations are very strict too, but I can fill a suitcase with unmentionables. There will be more choice for the knicker nicker when I get home lol!!

LOL Yg. Trust you to think of that.

Bye Aunty catch you soon.

I want a cuddly koala!!

I want a tiger and a gorgeous meercat Simples LOL

You are crackers!!

Oh Crumbs LOL

Lammingtons????

Beta Male works in the Currency Markets. He was trying to explain why Aunty's certs were costing more. Something about a stronger AUD v a weak GBP and the money markets wanting to buy more AUD than GBP, so the value of the AUD has gone up due to the demand. Got that bit, but still can't understand why the Certs cost more..........someone must be making a killing in the exchange rates - unless you forgot to factor in the recent cert price increase?

morning all what a cheerful bunch lol as long as half term is dry i can cope i have some gentle chores planned .going to lindisfarne with frog on thursday of half term for the day .so hope that is not too cold
